hi all,
my son is 3 and half yrs old.. going to LKG.. he started late.. at the age of 2.6 yrs.. now he talks but the speech is not clear..like he has difficulty in forming sentences.. wat to do for this..
The other prob is he never answers teacher.. when she asks \"; hv u finished eating? \";, did u get the note.. etc.. he never answers. he just stares at her.. but when i ask in home he replies.. wat to do ?
pls reply my above ques.. anand replied. hi, its not mandatory for kids to like their teachers. kids might have seen them in angry mood and the same frame of the teacher will continue for sometime. but they r confident with us and will reply to us. time will get over these problems no need to worry. Sonia replied. I think you must think like a detective. First you must see if your son is going to a good doctor. Second you must analise the fisical factors: many kids with those problems have problems in the upper respiratory system (mose, ears, tonsil, etc)that is why many of them don't eat and don't speak properly. Many of them are so focused in breading that they can't pay attention. Another fisical probmel might be estructural - like needing a goog dentist. Third, you must consider the psychological issues: is he anxious? Does he like the teacher? Does he feel secure enough? Does he think he is being evaluated all the time? Talk with the doctor and with the teacher.
